Chris,
What are the front panels made out of ?? Strataglass or an acrylic ?

That is one of the nicest !! That bow shot looks serious

Thank you ScottM for posting these pictures for me. And thank you everyone for the compliments; fortunately my camera work is hiding about 28 years worth of dings. Hope this helps with hardtop ideas and please feel free to ask any questions if I can be of help.

Scott,
Sorry, just noticed your question about the panels. The front 3 are Barrett Bonded (very similar to EZ2CY i.e. hard acrylic) and the side panels are Strataglass.

What's the material underneath the top?

So what do you think about the Barrett Bonded ( they now go by Rainier ?? )
Took a good look at them at a boat show and they looked nice ... with their very clean stitchless design. They were giving EZ2CY some flack, but thats sales for ya and the EZ2CY booth was 50 feet away!! ... I was expecting them to be less than EZ2CY. But I got a "casual" quote from a local installer and they were higher !!!

I thought I was told the polycarbonate is tougher in regards to impact. Also I was told they are a bit delicate with regards to scuffing. Then if it scratches it cant be polished out. I dont quite get it, they seem pretty tough. Do you have any issues with them scratching from day to day use i.e. cleaning ??
